Beschreibung

Neuware -The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) can be found in the majority of data centers across the world. However, getting hands-on practice to learn this infrastructure can be difficult, as many companies will push to have it production-ready as soon as possible. Home-labs are also cost-prohibitive, cumbersome, electricity-hungry, and noisy.APress in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 164 pp. Englisch.
